I draw from time to time, recently did something GW2-related.

I planned to roll an Elementalist with Canthan roots and got this:



Changed this after discovering Gendaran Fields to Ascalonian. Drew a portrait to focus more on facial details.

very nice work there. lot of talent!

[Morag D]

welcome! your stuff is pretty cool, feel free to show us more!

[Atro]

I love it, especially the water! Good work and I hope to see some more of it.

[Darkiron]

Nice work, call me jealous. Looks a bit like Korra from the new Avatar Show though, were you indending that, or is it just that Canthan roots and an elementalist will only get you so far away from Avatar?

[Doctor Overlord]

Very cool artwork!   Post more stuff whenever you get the chance.

I saw that too    I was thinking that Avatar-fans would probably wish Elementalists could have alternate animation what involved martial arts moves.

Letztes Wochenende BWE Asura, nächsten Montag schreibe ich Funktionentheorie. Was ist das Resultat?

[Lun]

I already commented this in your deviantart account, but I'll say it again: she's beautiful!

[Doctor Overlord]

Very neat Asura sketch!     I like her design and outfit.  

I didn't think I'd be interested in rolling up an asura but after trying one in the last BWE they shot up to near the top of my list.

That's a very cool way to develop a character!   It was interesting to watch the evolution over the course of the week.  

I may have to try that myself sometime to try when I'm suffering from a block in creating characters.  Maybe I'll even try it for text story characters, hmmmm.

[Rabenfeder]

My main, Lisk (she's a Necromancer now, not an Elementalist ). I may color it later. Next step would be to actually fill the character behind these concepts ;D

To view the picure in a reasonable size, just click on the picture.

[Doctor Overlord]

Very lovely and peaceful picture.  It really does remind one of Divinity's Reach.

You haven't filled in the background of your main?   I usually work something out with my characters but sometimes I just start playing and let the story fill out their background.

Oh, I hope you'll colour this. I'm really liking the detailed background, it helps to bring out the character in the drawing. Very nice!

Looking forward to hearing more about her background once you come up with it. She seems like such an interesting character!

Thanks a lot! Colors are on their way, and it would be great now if you could help me out - I'm undecided which mood I should pick.



Its just roughly sketched with some gradients and layers, but what do you like more?

Thanks in advance,


Rabenfeder

[Morag D]

I like both :3
in a way, the daylight one is more extrovert (looking at the city) while the evening scene feels more introvert, more pensive: if I had to decide though, I'd probably go for the sunset one

Ooh, I like the daylight one best! It really has a Guild Wars 2 Divinity's Reach thing over it. The orange tones remind me more of Blizzards concept art, whereas Guild Wars tend to be a lot lighter and more daily life-ish. In line with that, I like the daylight one best

[Perynne]

I prefer the daylight one too, it brings out the character more by having the background take second place with more muted colours. In the evening one, the character and background are both strongly coloured so the character doesn't stand out as much.

[Rabenfeder]

Hey there,

I actually picked the daylight one because of the character visibility. But I suddenly really disliked working on that picture and kinda rushed it and skipped a lot of (possible) details in the end. I may pick it up later again, but that's highly unlikely.

In particular, I hate her clothing (it's fairly difficult to combine her different aspects - the heavy, serious priestess kind of thing as well as the light, blind-but-barefoot one). I also dislike my style overall after browsing through some other artists. Whelp.

Cool coloring on the pic!  

And just do your own style, don't worry about what other people do.  I think your style is fine.

I actually like what you have right now.  Sometimes too much details takes away the beauty of an art.    But that's just my opinion.

[Rabenfeder]

Another alt I was playing a lot lately (just not roleplaying her yet).

If you want to know what's written there and haven't got a clue:

Spoiler

It's ascalonian.

Skip the clue-thingy and read what's written?

Spoiler

As long as we remember
Ascalon
remains...

[Rabenfeder]

Slightly updated.
